Construction Planning for Healthcare Facilities & Schools
How the NH State Fire & Building Codes Apply
All licensed NH healthcare facilities must comply with design, construction and fire protection standards as they relate to the NH State Fire Code, NH State Building Code, and Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) Guidelines.
There are also specific guidelines for school construction projects and we review all plans, working closely with the NH Department of Education.
